Wow

This story was great, I got to read it again. It is worth the price. Great story and I love it when the villains are taken care of, one by one.

Disappointing Don't Buy!

I'm sorry I paid for this. It reads like a draft. Lots of editing needed. Misspellings are rampant."bare" for "bear" " dower" for " dour" and ssssooo many similar mistakes. Spell check doesn't fix when you use the wrong word, but spell the wrong word correctly.

The story was a great idea, I really enjoyed the concept behind it. Evil Jane! She had such an ugly character. It was a great story just poorly written, almost if English wasn't their first language. I enjoyed it, Elizabeth and Gigi definitely did a lot of growing as wonderful women. Elizabeth was definitely a strong character who along the way discovered her gifts and talents with medicine inspired others to follow her path of caring for others.

Dark

This variation of author Jane Austen’s classic Pride and Prejudice is much darker in tone than most. There are behaviors that would not have been approved at the time and sex scenes. If you don’t mind these then you might enjoy the book.

Fantastic engagement

This was a variation that included many different problematic people. The answers to the problems were interesting and Justin some cases. Highly recommend you give a try. The villains are worse, but get what they deserve
